What you are looking for doesn't exist - well not at decent quality.

You can either use a PC to TV convertor (about =A3100 - =A3150 ish) and
hop=
e for
the best or do what I did, buy a graphics card with DVI output, a nice long
DVI cable and an LCD telly to connect it to.

Running PC's into normal TVs by SCART RGB just doesn't happen at the
moment=
.
Been trying to do this for two years nearly and have given up in
frustration.

Right - now the good news ... *SUPPOSEDLY* the Matrox G450 cards can be
forced to generate interlaced RGB and if you have a look at Matrox's
suppor=
t
forums and do a search on there for RGB SCART then you should find the
wiring diagram for the cable required and also info which *SHOULD* enable
you to do what you want to do. There's also
http://www.idiots.org.uk/vga_rgb_scart/
if you want to have a bash using an
Ati Radeon card.

Before you get too excited about these last two I got bored with trying to
get them working and gave up.
